Triggering from serial



I have need to trigger a HD810 from a serial device. The device has a large number of button inputs, and spits serial out when a button is pressed. For example, pressing a button will cause it to spit a single character such as T. The problem is that there is no carriage return after the character......only the single character. How can I get the brightsign to trigger from this if there is no '0x0D' terminator in the string?? Would this require a custom script or can it be done from Bright author?

    We can do this with a custom autorun for brightauthor.

    The standard autorun listens for strings. We can set it to listen for bytes instead.  Which version of brightauthor do you have?

    This custom autorunworks with version 2.0 build 42 or later. You can get 2.0.0.44 from our website.

    Thanks Lyndon. I have tried to use this autorun, however it causes the player to flash a fault code on boot. It is a 10 flash code.
    Reverting to the standard autorun for the same project works fine ( apart from triggering from bytes).
    I am using brighauthor 2.0.0.44 and firmware 3.3.78

    any ideas?
